New Patron Early-Access Film Simulation Recipe: Pushed CineStill 800T (X100V & X-Pro3)

City Roses – Farmington, UT – Fujifilm X100V – “Pushed CineStill 800T”

The Fuji X Weekly app is free, yet becoming a Fuji X Weekly Patron unlocks the best app experience! One benefit of being a Patron is you get early access to some new film simulation recipes. These early-access recipes will eventually become available free to everyone in time, including this new one. In fact, many early-access recipes have already been publicly published on this blog and the app, so now everyone can use them. Patrons help support Fuji X Weekly and, really, without them there would be no app. So I want to give a special “thank you” to all of the Patrons!

A few days back I published a Patron early-access recipe called “Pushed CineStill 800T” that was compatible with the Fujifilm X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II cameras, and I immediately received requests for an alternate version for the X100V and X-Pro3. I was able to get pretty darn close! While this new Patron early-access recipe is for those with an X100V or X-Pro3, it is also compatible with the X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II, and if you have one of those cameras you will have to decide which version to use—even though they’re both nearly identical, you might prefer one over the other.

Both recipes mimic the look of push-processed CineStill 800T film. To create this aesthetic, I studied overcast daytime examples of the film, and, interestingly enough, it did quite well at night, too; however, I do believe it more faithfully mimics the film in cloudy daytime conditions—it does produce nice results in daylight or night, so feel free to use it anytime. Film can look different depending on how it is shot, developed, printed, or scanned. This recipe doesn’t replicate pushed CineStill 800T film under all circumstances, but in certain conditions it’s a good facsimile. I really like how this one looks, and I think some of you will really appreciate it, too!

If you are a Fuji X Weekly Patron, it’s available to you right now on the app!
